Stock piling , panic buying.

Sainsbury's this morning was a nightmare. Queuing halfway across the car park to get in, the usual missing staples on the shelves; pasta, rice, tinned soup, baked beans.

However you could overload on pizza, prepared pasts meals & cook at home Chinese takeaway style meals. Because obviously you'll catch Coronavirus form them as they are Italian & Chinese, which is the source of the problem. How dumb are some of the people we share the planet with? :rolleyes:

And the conga of people following the pallet of toilet rolls was hilarious. It was like the Pied Piper of Sainsbury's. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
All those people who added to their weekly shop due to brexit with cans of food etc must be sitting back laughing at these people now

Have to admit because of my medication issues with trouble to get Ive got 3 months supply in my cupboard incase I can't get it

Delighted with that now
 
Mrs Wolf went alone this morning so as I could avoid the moronic panicking as I have a low tolerance for selfishness.

She said there was no rice, pasta, toilet roll or handsoap. Yet there was loads of washing up liquid and shower gel so she just bought those instead to wash hands with. If this carries on we're gonna need to reintroduce rationing.

The cynic in me thinks the stores are the ones who create the panic buying

Yesterday even that had gone off the shelves.
 
Worst panic buying on record was in Holland in 1637 when the price of a single tulip became that of a house or warship.
You ain't seen nuthin yet.
Does anyone remember the petrol coupons we had in the 1970's? Cars were queuing outside filling stations just to top up tanks.
 
Pretty good today, Sainsbury’s wasnt busy and I got everything on my list. Plenty of food about if you already keep topped up with the staples. I’m planning recipes that don’t include pasta and rice if our stocks do happen to run out for some reason.

You can certainly live without bread, pasta, rice and toilet roll and be very healthy.

Exactly. If necessary buy a 'cook book' or look on the web there is such a thing as cooking.

It seems everyone has forgotten the humble potato - versatile, cheap lasts for ages, as does most root vegetables. There's also this weird powdery stuff called 'flour'. It is possible to (heaven forbid) make your own pasta if that's what you really need to survive. A bit of yeast, flour and a few minutes and you can cure your bread shortage - you can even by kits!!
